I Saw The Devil(american remake)

Well I just seen that the duo behind You're Next just signed on to write and direct the remake of this badass Korean blood fest. Can't say I'm stoked for this. Its just one of those movies that no matter how hard they try,they're just gonna fuck this one up.

As far as Wingard an Barrett go, I'm still undecided even though I did like" You're Next". At Least Spike Lee ain't directing this one. So that's a positive.......But as far as Korean Flicks go. This is almost the Equivalent of an"Exorcist" remake point being. A) It doesn't matter who tries this, its gonna come up short. B) Its way too early to do it. An C) its one step closer to "W&B" becoming all out Hollywood an forgeting what got them where they are today

Its actually not as horrible as i made it out to be..... like........ its not insultingly bad the way Shutter was, pulse, dark water, grudge, tales of two sisters... this list could go on for a while, so.. etc.

Its kind of hard to explain how i really felt about the whole thing. I kind of went in stages with the whole process of finding out they were remaking it to its conception... Stage 1 denial. Stage 2 grief. Stage 3 false acceptance Stage 4 depression,. etc.
But i guess when everything was said and done it was not the movie itself i was most offended with, i guess it was simply the attempt.

It was really just a reminder that even with a solid director behind it, you just cant remake Oldboy for an American audience. The acting was not bad, the cinematography was fine, even the script seemed okay. But the people who have the capabilities and acceptance to watch Oldboy, already have and realize that its not a piece of entertainment, but kinda falls into that art category.
